I've fallen in love with a series of small felt ornament patterns by Lia Griffith - this Little Felt Bear is one. They require very little sewing and embellishment, so they are very quick to turnaround in these wee hours before Christmas is upon us!
I had some leftover wool from my plushwork wreath, so I decided to try stitching a woven picot stitch flower with it.
You can refer to my tutorial for the woven picot if you need to learn the stitch - this post is more to show you how it looks using tapestry wool.
DMC Red 7108 and Blanc
I usually stitch the woven picot with pearl cotton. The first thing I noticed using wool is how quickly you can stitch it up - less weaving since the wool is so thick.
Here are the finished flower petals.
I added woven picot leaves and white french knots for the center of the flower.
I love how it looks with the tapestry wool.
It sorta reminds me of poinsettia - but maybe because it's red and I have Christmas on my mind :)
Thank you again to DMC for providing the tapestry wool!
These Cindermice patterns by Sophie at What Delilah Did are so bright and wonderful. What a cute little gift they would make, or some time well-spent, teaching a beginner how to stitch!
